Common problems

15
  • Engine will not crank
    Cause: Fault lamp on
    Fix: Correct fault and reset control.
  • Engine cranks but will not start
    Cause: Empty fuel tank, fuel leaks, or plugged fuel lines
    Fix: Correct as required
  • The FAULT 1 or FAULT 2 fault lamp lights. Engine shuts down immediately, engine runs for several seconds and then shuts down, or engine continues to run FAULT 1
    Cause: The standard undesignated fault functions are programmed to shut down the set when a fault is sensed. Fault 1 is time delayed while Fault 2 is immediate. The nature of the fault is an optional selection that is determined when the set installation is designed. The undesignated fault functions may also be programmed for non-shutdown or non-time delay.
  • Over Current 1471
  • Low Coolant Level 197
    Cause: Engine coolant level has fallen below the warning trip point
    Fix: If generator is powering critical loads and cannot be shut down, wait until next shutdown period, then follow code 235 procedure; if engine can be stopped, follow code 235 procedure.
  • Weak Battery — Indicates that during cranking, the battery voltage is at or below the weak battery warning trip point for a time greater than or equal to the weak battery set time. 1442
    Cause: During cranking, the battery voltage is at or below the weak battery warning trip point for a time greater than or equal to the weak battery set time
    Fix: See code 441 for corrective action
  • Weak Battery 1442
    Cause: During cranking, the battery voltage is at or below the weak battery warning trip point for a time greater than or equal to the weak battery set time
    Fix: See code 441 for corrective action.
  • Under Frequency 1448
  • Too Long In Idle — Indicates genset has been in Idle mode too long (10 minutes maximum). 2342
    Cause: Genset has been in Idle mode too long (10 minutes maximum)
  • Too Long In Idle (10 min.) 2342
  • SWITCH OFF lamp flashes
    Cause: Run/Stop/Remote switch is in the Stop position which will prevent automatic starting if an automatic transfer switch is used
    Fix: Move the Run/Stop/Remote switch to the Remote position for automatic starting.
  • Speed/Hz Match 1469
  • Speed Signal Lost — Battle Short is suspended and a shutdown occurs immediately. 121
  • Speed Signal Lost 121
  • Shutdown After BS 1123

  1. Remove the two jumpers between terminals TB1-6 and TB1-7 and connect one between TB1-5 and TB1-6 and the other between TB1-7 and TB1-8.
  2. Move selector switch S103 on the control PCB to the up position for 120V.
  3. On the control transformer, remove the two jumpers between terminals H2 and H3 and connect one between H1 and H3 and the other between H2 and H4.
Dip Adjustment adjustment
  1. Turn the DIP pot clockwise to increase the voltage vs frequency slope for frequencies below the UFRO threshold.
  2. Greater slope gives greater voltage roll off as frequency drops, easing large load pickup but increasing voltage dip.
  3. Turn the pot fully counterclockwise to make the slope the same above and below the threshold frequency.
Dwell Adjustment adjustment
  1. Turn the DWELL pot clockwise to increase dwell time (voltage recovery time when frequency dips below threshold).
  2. Turn the DWELL pot fully counterclockwise to eliminate dwell.
  3. With no dwell, voltage recovery follows engine speed recovery.
Fuel Pump Control: Convert 120 VAC to 240 VAC adjustment
  1. Remove jumpers between TB1-5/TB1-6 and TB1-7/TB1-8; connect two jumpers between TB1-6 and TB1-7.
  2. Move selector switch S103 on control PCB to down position for 240 VAC.
  3. If equipped with a transformer, remove jumpers between H1/H3 and H2/H4 and connect two jumpers between H2 and H3.
  4. Attach a tag to the control box indicating the supply voltage.
Fuel Pump Control: Convert 240 VAC to 120 VAC adjustment
  1. Remove jumpers between TB1-6/TB1-7; connect one jumper TB1-5 to TB1-6 and one TB1-7 to TB1-8.
  2. Move selector switch S103 on control PCB to up position for 120V.
  3. If equipped with a transformer, remove jumpers between H2/H3 and connect one between H1-H3 and one between H2-H4.
Governor Adjustments (Type A Electric Governor) adjustment
  1. Set selector switch S1 to OFF, S2 to appropriate model position.
  2. Set pots initially: Gain 20%, I 20%, D 30%, Droop 0%.
  3. Start set, adjust Speed pot for required frequency (60Hz=1800RPM or 50Hz=1500RPM) at operating temperature.
  4. Disconnect load, turn Gain pot to 100% or until unstable, then back off until stable.
  5. Adjust D and I pots similarly; readjust Speed if necessary.
  6. Push throttle to minimum speed, release and observe overshoot (2-5 Hz acceptable); adjust I pot to reduce overshoot or hunting.
Initial Start Setup adjustment

⚠ Selecting this menu resets all operating parameters to default values; perform only by technically qualified personnel.

  1. Press RESET, MENU and PHASE SELECT simultaneously to invoke the Initial Start Setup menu.
  2. Toggle the Standby/Prime option.
  3. Select the correct generator set model, frequency and kW rating.
  4. Select the correct nominal line-to-line output voltage.
  5. Select DELTA or WYE.
  6. Select SAVE to save changes; MAIN MENU is then displayed.
Operating PowerCommand in Droop Mode adjustment
  1. Set the no load speed and voltage at the desired level (bus must be de-energized or disconnect Bus PT module).
  2. Apply 100% load and adjust KW load sharing gain for desired full load frequency; adjust KVAR load sharing gain for desired full load voltage.
  3. Repeat the process for other generator sets in the system.
  4. Test the system with all available load and verify approximately equal load sharing at no load and maximum load.
Over / Under Voltage Module Recalibration adjustment
  1. Remove the two screws securing the top to the case and withdraw the top assembly.
  2. Adjust the UNDER setpoint SET pot to 75 percent.
  3. Apply single-phase, 60 Hertz, 104.25 VAC across terminals L and N.
  4. Adjust pot R25 on the PC board until the relay trips (de-energizes).
  5. Adjust the OVER setpoint SET pot to 125 percent.
  6. Apply single-phase, 60 Hertz, 173.75 VAC across terminals L and N.
  7. Adjust pot R26 on the PC board until the relay trips (energizes).
  8. Repeat until no adjustments are necessary, then reassemble the module.
Torque Tester / Current Transformer Installation Check adjustment
  1. Verify the dot on the CT faces toward the generator.
  2. Verify CT21 is on U load leads, CT22 on V load leads, CT23 on W load leads.
  3. Verify the correct CT secondary terminal (pin 2 high voltage / pin 3 low voltage) is used.
  4. Check CT/PT wiring if a 335 Reverse Power shutdown occurs.
